The environment, diet, microbiota and body's metabolism shape complex biological processes in health and disease. However, our understanding of the molecular pathways involved in these processes is still limited. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that integrates environmental, dietary, microbial and metabolic cues to control complex transcriptional programmes in a ligand-specific, cell-type-specific and context-specific manner. In this Review, we summarize our current knowledge of AHR and the transcriptional programmes it controls in the immune system. Finally, we discuss the role of AHR in autoimmune and neoplastic diseases of the central nervous system, with a special focus on the gut immune system, the gut-brain axis and the therapeutic potential of targeting AHR in neurological disorders.

芳烃受体:一种在健康和疾病中整合免疫反应的环境传感器。

环境,饮食,微生物群和人体的新陈代谢影响着健康和疾病中复杂的生物过程。但是,我们对涉及这些过程的分子途径的理解仍然是有限的。芳基烃受体(AHR)是一种配体激活的转录因子,可整合环境,饮食,微生物和代谢线索,以配体特异性,细胞类型特异性和环境特异性方式控制复杂的转录程序。在这篇综述中,我们总结了我们目前对AHR的了解以及它在免疫系统中控制的转录程序。最后,我们讨论了AHR在中枢神经系统自身免疫和肿瘤疾病中的作用,特别关注肠道免疫系统,肠脑轴和针对AHR在神经系统疾病中的治疗潜力。
